Not the worst idea I've ever heard, actually thought about it a few times myself. Payload is obviously going to be extremely limited, the A-12 would have carried three AIM-47 Falcons at around ~800lbs each in individual bays...that fits the size and weight of a B61 pretty well. So three dial-a-yield gravity bombs with settings up to 400Kt or so each, on a Mach 3+ airframe. Really feels like that should be useful for something, but I'm drawing a blank on what.
